REadability

Readability is an extension that is particularly good for students (or people) who are easily distracted by a busy website. When you use Readability, it strips the advertisements, images, and other extraneous items from a webpage, so you can read just the article you want.

Some of the nice features of Readability are that you can save articles to read later, and you can send them to your Kindle.  You can also change the font and appearance of the article to make it more "readable" for you!

Click to get the Readability extension in the Chrome Store.

Save Text to Google Drive is a handy extension that takes saving webpages to your drive a step further.  When you use this extension, you are presented with all of the text on a given webpage.  You can cut out what is unnecessary (or unwanted) and save the text of the webpage directly to a Google Doc in your drive.  It even includes the link to the site for you, so you can go back to it at a later time if you need/want to.

What a great tool for students completing web research!
